Typical Timeline
Typically 1 – 2 days
Consultation & Selection
We assess the existing opening, discuss style, material, glass, and hardware, and recommend a door system that fits your entry and the exposure it faces.
Measurement & Order
We measure the opening precisely and order the door, frame, and hardware to fit — including any needed adjustments for older or out-of-square openings.
Installation & Sealing
The old door and frame come out, the opening is inspected and prepped, and the new system is set plumb, insulated, flashed, and weather-sealed.
Hardware & Finish
Locks and hardware are installed and adjusted, trim is finished inside and out, and we confirm the door swings true and seals tight.

Which door material is best for a west-facing entry?
A west-facing door takes intense afternoon sun and weather. Fiberglass is a strong choice there — it resists warping, fading, and denting, and it insulates well. Steel is durable and secure, while wood is beautiful but needs the most upkeep on a high-exposure entry.
Will a new entry door help with drafts?
Usually a lot. Old doors often leak around worn weatherstripping and poorly sealed frames. Replacing the full door system — not just the slab — with proper insulation, flashing, and seals is what stops the draft and improves comfort near the entry.
Can you add sidelights or glass to my entry?
Yes, as long as the opening and surrounding wall allow it. Sidelights, transoms, and decorative glass can transform an entry, and we'll confirm what's feasible for your specific opening during the consultation.
We provide entry doors to homeowners throughout the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line. Each community has its own page with local permitting and housing detail.

A front door does two jobs at once: it sets the tone for the whole front of your home, and it seals a large opening against Kansas City's humid summers and hard winters. When it's dated and drafty, it fails at both. Replacing the full door system tightens the entry, adds security, and refreshes your curb appeal in a single day of work.
Entry doors are part of a home's exterior envelope, and they coordinate naturally with the rest of it. Homeowners often replace an entry door alongside new windows or a patio door for a matched, weather-tight result, or fold it into a broader exterior remodeling project. Fresh paint on the trim and door is a frequent finishing touch — see exterior painting.
Each material trades off cost, security, insulation, and upkeep differently in our climate. Here is an honest comparison to guide your choice; we finalize the recommendation based on your entry's exposure during the consultation.
| Material | Insulation | Upkeep | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass | Excellent | Low | Sun-beaten west/south entries; wood-grain look without the maintenance |
| Insulated Steel | Very good | Low | Security and value; entries under some cover |
| Solid Wood | Good | Periodic refinishing | Historic homes wanting authentic character |
In the KC metro, the direction your entry faces changes what holds up best. We factor orientation into every recommendation.
West- and South-Facing Entries
These take the brunt of intense afternoon sun and summer heat. Fiberglass is our usual recommendation here because it resists warping and fading far better than wood and won't telegraph heat like a bare steel slab in full sun.
Covered and Sheltered Entries
Where a porch or overhang shields the door, you have more freedom. Insulated steel delivers strong security and value out of the weather, and wood is a viable option when it's protected from direct sun and rain.
Older, Out-of-Square Openings
Decades of settling on Kansas City's clay soils can leave entry openings out of square, which is why a drafty door often won't seal no matter how much weatherstripping you add. Installing a full door system set plumb, insulated, and flashed corrects the underlying problem rather than masking it.
A door is only as good as its installation. We replace the complete system so the new door performs the way it should from day one.
- Full door systems — new frame, threshold, and weatherstripping, not just the slab — so the seal is complete and lasting.
- Proper flashing and low-expansion air-sealing at the opening to keep KC's humidity and cold out of the wall.
- Multi-point locks and upgraded hardware for security, plus reinforced strike areas.
- Sidelight, transom, and decorative-glass options where the wall and header allow.
- Interior and exterior trim finished so the entry looks clean and complete.
